You are about to read a lot about dirt, which no one knows very
much about. So begins the cult classic that brings mystery and
magic to that stuff that won t come off your collar. John Adams,
Thomas Jefferson, Saint Phocas, Darwin, and Virgil parade through
this thought-provoking work, taking their place next to the dung
beetle, the compost heap, dowsing, historical farming, and the
microscopic biota that till the soil. With fresh eyes and heartfelt
reverence, William Bryant Logan variously observes, There is
glamour to the study of rock; The most mysterious place on Earth is
right beneath our feet; and Dirt is the gift of each to all.
Whether Logan is traversing the far reaches of the cosmos or
plowing through our planet s crust, his delightful, elegant, and
surprisingly soulful meditations greatly enrich our concept of
dirt, that substance from which we all arise and to which we all
must return."
